Before I deep dive into this detailed ESEE-6 Survival Knife review, I think it’s only fair that I tell you a little bit about the history of this knife and the firm that manufactures it. The ESEE knives are manufactured by the Randall’s Adventure Training Company and have been in existence since 1997. It was started by 2 outdoor enthusiast and experts, Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin as an outdoor survival training agency providing global training, gear, and logistical solutions to military and law enforcement agencies as well as civilians in remote environments.
ESEE knives take a long time to come out of production simply because of the fact that the company spends an insane amount of time field testing each new prototype and incorporating user feedback at every level. Only then, does the knife make it to the production stage!
With an overall length of 11 ¾’’ and a drop point blade that measures 6 ½’ in length, the ESEE-6 is a true delight to hold in your hands. It’s made using 3/16’, 1095 carbon steel and has a flat ground bevel to match its look. There’s a powdered coating on the blade and you can choose that between textured black or olive drab green powder.
As with most of the top survival knives, the ESEE-6 survival knife too comes with the choice of serrated or non-serrated edges and this full tang knife also comes equipped with handle slabs made from canvas Micarta. It has an exposed pommel and lanyard loop at the end and the one I bought also came equipped with a kydex sheath.
Honestly speaking, I found the ESEE-5 to be a lot better looking than this knife but overall the functionality, design and performance makes this an even better knife. The makers have made the rather unusual choice of making the drop point quite long but it does serve its purpose well and this demonstrated quite evidently in the tasks that the ESEE-6 performs with ease.
